Shen Yuchi had been in a bad mood recently. Recently, an inspector in the bureau had betrayed him and stolen many secret files.
The secret files recorded some of the bureau's actions, and these actions were aimed at some members of the six families. The exposure of these secret files immediately made the bureau a target.
The bureau was originally the guard dog of the six families. Now that it wanted to bite its master, the outcome was obvious.
Shen Yuchi was already in a terrible fix. The only thing to be thankful for was that the inspector's rank wasn't high enough. The files he had stolen were only a small portion, and they didn't touch on the important core.
Although the files only investigated some of the outer members of the six families, Shen Yuchi was still held accountable and forced to explain to the six families. For this, the bureau had paid quite a huge price.
Originally, the Cape family, which Liz was from, would provide a huge sum of money to the bureau every year. In fact, the six families provided the same amount of money to the bureau. However, just as it was time to transfer the money this year, the six families' funding was canceled at the same time.
Although the excuse was different, Shen Yuchi knew very well that this was just a small warning from the six families.
Not only that, some of the inspectors from the bureau who had investigated the six families had also encountered some problems. Although no lives had been lost, Shen Yuchi knew that if such a thing happened again, it wouldn't be so simple.
"An Tianzuo, ah, An Tianzuo, your revenge sure came quickly." Shen Yuchi had already guessed who had done all of this. Apart from An Tianzuo, he couldn't think of a second person.
Even Ják failed. This An family is really getting more and more troublesome. Just as Shen Yuchi was thinking about what to do next, he heard a knock on the door.
"Director-General, Northern Ice City has already agreed to our deal. This is the price list they offered." The secretary handed a document to Shen Yuchi.
Shen Yuchi carefully looked at the price list and asked with a frown, "Why is it 30% more expensive than what we agreed on previously?"
"Northern Ice City said that the Aurora Pith produced by their side is decreasing, so they have to increase the price. This is the lowest price they can accept," the secretary said helplessly.
"What do you mean decreasing? It's because they know that we urgently need the Aurora Pith and are demanding an exorbitant price." Shen Yuchi snorted coldly, feeling somewhat helpless.
He had to obtain the Aurora Pith. This was a necessity for the advancement of the Mythical Companion Beast. No matter how expensive it was, he had to obtain it. After the Companion Beast advanced, it would be the most powerful trump card in the bureau's hands. This was a major matter that couldn't be delayed.
However, the bureau's current financial situation was just too bad. It had originally been counting on the aid from the six families, but now that the aid was gone, it would be difficult for the bureau to operate normally, much less purchase the priceless Aurora Pith.
From the looks, I can only use the Primordial Crystals in storage. Shen Shen Yuchi could only come up with this idea.
The amount of reserves in the Special Inspector Bureau's Primordial Crystal mine exceeded everyone's imagination. Even Shen Yuchi hadn't expected the reserves to be so large when he first started mining.
However, Shen Yuchi was not in a hurry to exchange the crystal ores for money. Every year, he only took out a few tons of crystal ores to sell, and a large amount of crystal ores were still stored in the warehouse under the mine.
If all the Primordial Crystal mines there were taken out, the bureau wouldn't have to worry about funds for decades to come.
Of course, Shen Yuchi definitely wouldn't let anyone know that the bureau had such a huge sum of wealth. Even the six families only believed that the Primordial Crystal mine was an ordinary rich mine.
"Continue negotiating with Northern Ice City and try to lower the price," Shen Yuchi said to his secretary.
Although he had money, he absolutely could not waste it. Those crystals would be of great use in the future. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Shen Yuchi did not want to use a single cent.
"Yes, Chief." The secretary answered and left.
Shen Yuchi picked up the intelligence report from Luoyang and couldn't help but frown. "Even Ják can't bring Zhou Wen back from the An family. Who else is more suitable?"
Shen Yuchi was momentarily unable to think of a good candidate. It was more difficult to get someone from Luoyang's uncrowned king, the An family, than he had imagined.
He had thought that Jacker would be able to handle this matter, but in the end, he failed.
Let's think about it carefully. Shen Yuchi had no intention of giving up. Although Jacker had failed, Wang Mingyuan's matter was of great importance. The six families had given him a death order to investigate it thoroughly no matter what. Even if he was willing to give up, the six families wouldn't.
Zhou Wen sprawled on the top of a small mountain and used binoculars to observe the valley not far away.
That valley was the legendary Don't Cry Valley. From the outside, the valley entrance wasn't very big. It looked like three to four trucks could pass through it side by side.
There were checkpoints built there, and there were people patrolling it. However, these weren't crucial. Those patrolling were only ordinary inspectors at the Legendary stage. It wasn't difficult for them to rush into Don't Cry Valley.
In fact, many people had rushed in before, but not many of them came out alive.
The bureau clearly didn't focus their defense on the outside. The Primordial Crystal mine was likely the core of their defense. One of the four Censors, Cai Jin, would likely be there.
Zhou Wen wasn't too familiar with Cai Jin, but in the information An Sheng had given him, this person had been mentioned in detail. He didn't stand out and was the most low-key of the four Censors. There was very little information about him. All he knew was that he was good at using the saber.
However, for Shen Yuchi to hand such an important Primordial Crystal mine to him, it was obvious that this person wasn't simple.
From time to time, drones would fly past. All Zhou Wen could do was hide in the dark and continue observing the situation in Don't Cry Valley.
It's still too far away. I can't see if there's a tiny palm symbol there. I have to get closer. Zhou Wen thought for a moment and summoned Truth Listener. He hid in the grass on the mountain peak and got it to take a look.
Truth Listener was only the size of a finger. It was relatively small, making it difficult for ordinary people to see it. Ordinary radars couldn't detect its existence either.
Truth Listener ran quickly through the grass and forest. Soon, it approached the entrance of Don't Cry Valley. Zhou Wen's order was for it to search for the tiny palm symbol. Truth Listener didn't approach the checkpoint. Under the cover of the grass, it circled the entrance of the valley, but it didn't discover anything.
If I can't find the tiny figure, I'll have to go in and give it a try myself. Just as Zhou Wen was thinking about how he could enter, his phone vibrated. He took it out and realized that a notification had popped up in-game.
'Killed Mythical creature, True Blood Demon Dragon. Discovered Dimensional Crystal.'
